ser as Dolly, wore . gown Of pink satin.
blue sash and white swiss cap. Miss Fan

wore blue satin dress. made with paniers
and Q high peaked conical hat Of blue
satin. Miss Fannie Foley charmingly per-
sonated Little Polly Flinders In blue satin
skirt with golden brown velvet brOcade.

gown. with white apron and red cape.

fst-despising Mrs. Jack Spratt, whom
nursery history represents as lean and hun

Miss Cummings has . marked style Of her
own. Miss Name Winslow Is A Milk

dancers. Miss Mary cassidy as
Molly, wore . cream skirt trimmed with
red, red satin bodice and red cap. Miss
Cassilly's dancing was grace itself.

ensemble. Throughout the minuet the Ia
dies sang the melodies Of Mother Goose In
